[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2443121, member: 27307"] Here are a couple of good reads regarding muzzle brakes: [URL]https://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/07/25/muzzle-brakes-ability-to-stay-on-target/#google_vignette[/URL] [URL]https://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/07/17/muzzle-brake-recoil-reduction/[/URL] [URL]https://www.range365.com/how-muzzle-brakes-work/[/URL] This is an extremely interesting slo-mo video: [MEDIA=youtube]lL5aG3w2Y4o[/MEDIA] And just for entertainment purposes, The Smuzzle, brought to you by the U.S. Army and our taxes: [MEDIA=youtube]5zLLI-jkwDo:5[/MEDIA] And last but not least, the Howitzer brake: [B]M109G 155mm self-propelled howitzer[/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1644861665662.png"]341116[/ATTACH] Now, the idea regarding the performance of a muzzle brake, whether it's a radial configuration or side discharge, is to release and redirect the the plasma (super heated gases from the burning gunpowder) in such a manor as to reduce recoil and retain as much of the original positioning (sight position) as possible. There is a ton of information on the internet with and without videos of the testing done. There are two sets of test I'm aware of: One using corn starch or baby powder with compressed air to demonstrate the blast pattern for several brakes. Second is from a manufacturer using a sled device used to measure recoil from several brakes. [/QUOTE]
